Page 47 of Keeping Time


Panel 1: Elena smiles softly, eyebrows turned up just slightly. Bottles of liquor line the wall behind her. She says, "You know, I think that’s the first time I’ve seen you really smile outside of performing."

Panel 2: Elena continues off panel, "It’s nice." Daniel looks down, his hair falling in his face and says nothing.

Panel 3: Elena closes her eyes as she brings a hand to her chin. "Sorry. Too much?"

Panel 4: A close-up of Daniel's eyes as he looks to the side. He answers quietly, "Nah."

Panel 5: Another close-up of the drink that harkens back to the panel we saw two pages earlier, only know the drink is nearly empty. Off-panel, Daniel admits, "I think you're probably right."
